From PC Mag: Intel's 10nm processors are finally set to arrive next month, but the chip giant is already thinking about what comes next and is promising 7nm chips by 2021.

Yesterday, Intel held its 2019 Investor Meeting in Santa Clara where Dr. Murthy Renduchintala, Intel's chief engineering officer and group president of the Technology, Systems Architecture and Client Group, detailed what comes next for the company. Top of the list is Intel's much-delayed 10nm processors, which are going to start shipping in volume from June.

The first 10nm chips will be for mobile platforms and offered under the name "Ice Lake." Intel is boasting Ice Lake offers three-times faster wireless speed, two-times faster video transcoding, two-times faster graphics performance, and up to three-times faster artificial intelligence performance.
